There is also the 300 Savage. Which was the cartridge the 308 Win was based off of.

And no. The 308Win will not do everything the 06 can do.
For 150-165 gr bullets the 06 is about 200 fps faster. For 210gr it's about 100 fps faster.
While it doesn't sound like much you will get a longer mechanical distance ( bullets expand typically down to 1,800 fps) than the 308 Win.
